Chapter 71

The situation on the battlefield shifted abruptly. Summoned beasts flooded into the arena like a rising tide: a split dog, a giant crab, a centipede, a rhinoceros, and a Giant Yatagarasu. The Giant Yatagarasu, a green-beaked giant bird, soared high into the air like a green meteor, bearing down heavily on Jiraiya and his companions. The Animal Path quickly leaped onto the bird's back, acting like a fighter jet as it swooped down toward the Hyuga clan members. Meanwhile, Nagato controlled the Preta Path and the chameleon to turn invisible, lurking like ghosts for a chance to launch another sneak attack.
